GBP/USD regains 1.4200, trims daily losses
FXStreet (Córdoba) - GBP/USD bounced off daily lows and regained the 1.42 mark at the beginning of the American session, lifted by EUR/GBP fall as a recovery in stocks led to euro weakness across the board.
Cable fell briefly below 1.4200 toward a daily low of 1.4172 before finding support and climbing back to the mid-1.42 zone. At time of writing, GBP/USD is trading at 1.4235, just a few pips below its opening price.
Earlier on the day, BoE Governor Carney reiterated that conditions are not in place for a UK rate hike. However, the pound remained broadly immutable as he added nothing to last week’s remarks.
